The Leadership Mind is dedicated to developing new and better leaders in government, business, and community based organizations. This blog exists because of the work of noted philosopher and author, Dr. Peter Koestenbaum, who has devoted his life to helping leaders understand how to use the lessons learned from the great philosophers of the ages to guide and shape decisions and actions in today's complex world.

Every journey begins with the first step. And, every blog begins with the first entry.

For those of you who are not acquainted with Dr. Koestenbaum, or the concepts of the Leadership Diamond, it might be a good idea start with some information that will help you put your mind into the proper frame of reference. Therefore, this first blog entry will give you a few references and resources that may prove useful.

In addition, more information is available about Dr. Koestenbaum and his work at his web site, www.pib.net (Philosophy in Business).

Welcome, and thank you for your participation.

PS - If you would like to be able to make new posts, in addition to your ability to comment on existing posts, let me know by including your name, email address, and a statement about your interest in a comment to any post on this blog. I will be happy to change the blog settings to allow others to be authors of content.

As you might expect, I reserve the right to keep the discussion on topic, respectful of others, and focused on learning and developing our understanding of leadership.
